It IS ugly, though they do realise .... they say they are looking for a
graphic designer .....

I'd love a way to build custom editors ..... specially from XML ;)

I share XLink LinkMaps and LinkBases between my documents. Authors will
need to be able to insert references from the separate LinkBase and LinkMap
into their documents and add new references etc. I just don't see this
happening in an html interface somehow ...

I am wondering if it could be possible to use JavaWebStart to get a client
Application (XML Mind, Morphon, TurboXML, SendStory etc.) to
Download->Edit->Upload via HTTP, or WebDAV.

There are lots of ideas about how a GUI for editing XML should look and
feel, though TBH I have yet to like any of them :(
